I haven't posted on the board in a long time so hope everyone is doing well.

Just wanted to let you know about James LaBrie's new album, Elements of Persuasion. This is an awesome piece of work. I like it better than anything James has done with Mullmuzzler or DT as of late. Mike Mangini (Extreme, Annihilator) is back on the skins which is awesome yet not overpowering and the guitarist is a little-known Italian named Marco Sfogli who, to me, sounds a LOT like George Lynch. Sfogli's solos fit so well and have so much feel that it straight- up gives me chills. Tracks that are my favorites are Crucify, Pretender, Freak and Drained but they're all great songs. Anyways, if you want a great album to check out then this is it.
You can check out some samples at CDUniverse and I'll throw in this link for you to read up on the album....... http://www.prog-nose.org/metal-nose/engels/albums%202005/labrie_james_ elements_of_persuasion.htm
